To discuss the joints first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Touchen-end, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Where areas have to stay open, we agree a phased sequence before starting.
- We strip the old sealant or filler and prepare each face until it’s sound and dry.
- Backing rod or bond-breaker sets the depth, primer goes on where specified, and the sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are inspected, the cure time confirmed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Leaks coming from the membrane rather than the joint seal
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brickwork movement joints
- Blockwork control joints
- Car park decks and ramps
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Podiums and floor movement joints
- Cladding panel joints
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Reopen bays and walkways only after the stated cure time
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Note which joints were done, when, and with what
Movement joints belong on the planned maintenance inspection list. Early splits and edges starting to lift show up on a routine check and long before edges start to break. Should you spot a problem, you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and send a picture.
Joints sealed at the same time generally fail around the same time. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort. We will tell you which movement joints need doing now and which can wait.

What’s the difference between an expansion joint and a movement joint?

The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Touchen-end
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Debris jammed in movement joints
- Weathered movement joint sealant that no longer flexes
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
Across sites such as Priors Way Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of Touchen-end, floor and movement joints can be sealed in phases so units keep working.
